How did the most silent organ in the body turn into a killer?

【Written at the end】

In 2020, more than 410,000 people in China were newly diagnosed with liver cancer, and more than 390,000 people died of liver cancer, with the number of deaths approaching the number of new cases. This also means that 1 in every 11 people newly diagnosed with cancer has liver cancer, and almost 1 in every 8 patients who die from cancer die of liver cancer.

The liver is known as a "dumb organ". Even if only 30% of normal liver cells remain, severe liver damage will not affect the body's metabolic activities, and often will not show any discomfort symptoms, and the body can maintain normal operation. Sometimes, because liver function tests show the liver function status at the time of blood draw, if the cells are not inflamed when the blood is drawn, liver cancer may not be detected.
